You have to understand the magnitude of this evening. It is me and Cliff and six women which all look great and are having a great time. In order to extend the night I suggest we go to APT in the meat packing district. A great spot that stay open til 4am and has a great DJ line up and diverse crowd. Needless to say we had a great time at APT!!!

Road to Miami

I'm trying to get to Miami for NYE so I can get away from the cold weather of chicago. I been freezing for the past couple weeks and it is some BS! The plan is to kick it in NYC tonight then go to Miami in the morning. In the meantime Cliff and I are going to hangout with our homies from TSU.

Genesis

Today a friend inspired me to consistently write to get a flow. In the process of finding my rhythm, I plan to break out of my shell of worrying if what i write is good enough or holds your attention. I'm going to write like I got some kind of respect for myself! LOL

I finally took sometime to do the little things that add to your life that you always say your going to do but never do. With that being said I walked down Michigan Avenue and took a picture of the Lions outside of the Art Institute. The Lions were a gift from Mrs. Henry Field donated when the Institute opened in 1893. They aren't identical and the North Lion is on the prowl and the South Lion stands in an attitude of defiance.

I just had to..........



THE GNOME
hit up the Museum from the Rocky movies and get a pic in front of the Rocky statue.  We also ran into a family that stole a gnome from a trailer park and takes it around the States on there trips and takes pic of it in different places and after a year mails it back to the owner with the pics.  we took a pic with the gnome so somebody will have a pic of me and Ben.  The funny thing is this was the second time they family did it.  This was done on the movie Amelie (french film) and when i asked they never saw the movie but had the same idea.  I love life!!!!

Give me Liberty or Give me Death


Well I'm not dying for anyone so it had to be Liberty.  Anyways made it to the Liberty Bell.  I felt patriotic for the first time in my life......lol.  OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Pat's or Geno's-Cheese Steak Battle





We're in Philly and Ben and I head down to the Philly Cheese Steak epicenter.  First we hit up Pat's and he has directions on how to order a cheese steak.  He has been there since 1930 and it was delicious.  I had a cheese steak with onions and provolone cheese.  The meat was delicious but the bread was kind of hard.
Next stop Geno's, it has the Las Vegas flash with the huge sign and lights.  It has been there since 1966.  It was delicious also the bread was soft but the meat wasn't as seasoned as Pat's.  There wasn't a dramatic difference but if I had to decide I would put Pat's meat on Geno's bread! ;-)

Cheers Boston!!!






I made it back to Beantown and it was Ben's first time so i had to show him around.  That is pretty cool that i get to show around someone a city i'm not from.  Nevertheless we did the tourist stuff, newbury st, boyleston st and we went to Cheers....where everyone knows your name.   We also walked thru a beautiful park.

Niagara Falls






We are on our way back to the States and we headed over to the magnificent Niagara Falls.  It took me awhile to get here but I finally made it and it was well worth the wait.  Obviously we saw it on the Canadian side which was beautiful!  Next stop good ol' USA!
